There are a whole host of issues that are coming along with the melting ice caps. That said, “slowing the planet’s rotation” was not on my bingo card. Duncan Agnew, a geophysicist and ...

Melting ice due to climate change could alter the position of Earth's geographic poles. A recent study reveals the potential ...

Melting ice masses also alter the Earth's axis of rotation. Over long timeframes, this polar motion can move the rotation axis points on the Earth's surface by about ten meters per hundred years.

As the last Ice Age came to an end nearly 10,000 years ago, something unexpected happened deep beneath Earth’s surface. Large ...

A recent study published in Nature suggests that global warming-induced melting of polar ice is causing a slowdown in the Earth's rotation, potentially leading to changes in our clocks ...

But beneath Antarctica’s frozen landscape, volcanoes quietly shape Earth's climate in surprising ... on the speed of ice melt. Researchers modeled scenarios ranging from slow, gradual ice ...

If all the Earth's land ice were to melt our oceans would rise 216 feet. So what would this mean for Asia’s coastlines? Just 3 feet of added sea level would eliminate up to 14,000 square feet of ...
